The Engineering Projects

Hi everyone! Hope you’re well today. I welcome you on board. In this post today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to P6KE220A.

The P6KE200A is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode that uses clamping action to provide circuit protection against overvoltage. It is widely used in low-voltage supplied ICs and MOS technology due to its quick response to transient overvoltages. For P6KE200A the clamping voltage is 246V and the breakdown voltage is ranged from 190V to 210V.

I suggest you read this entire post till the end as I’ll detail the complete introduction to P6KE200A covering datasheet, pinout, features equivalents, and applications of this component P6KE200A.

Introduction to P6KE200A

• The P6KE200A is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) device mainly used to cancel the overvoltage effects on electrical circuits and semiconductor materials. It is applied to nullify the overvoltage effects in MOS technology and low-voltage-supplied ICs.
• P6KE200A is connected in parallel with the electrical circuit that needs to be protected against overvoltage.

• For unidirectional functioning, you can identify the cathode side with a gray color band on it while the other side is the anode.

• For bi-directional functioning, however, this diode comes with the same characteristics in both negative and positive directions, hence, in that case, it doesn’t matter how you install this component into your project.
• I-V characteristics of the P6KE200A are given below.

• In P6KE200A, P6KE is known as the series name, 200 defines the diode operating voltage, while A means unidirectional.

P6KE200A Pinout

The following figure shows the pinout diagram of P6KE200A.

• This tiny component is a two-pin device composed of two terminals called anode and cathode. The anode side is positive and the cathode side is negative.
• The current leaves the diode from the cathode side and it enters the diode from the anode terminal.
